If I have an access variable, for example:
     s: access string := new String'("Foo");
is there an easy way to assign from s to a string variable? Obviously I 
can't assign it directly, because access string is not string, so how do 
I convert? Everything I read says that dereferences happen 
automatically, but in this situation!

TIA
